Motorola said open to Windows Phone
Windows Phone – While Motorola has focused its smartphones and tablets on the Android platform, the manufacturer has not hidden his interest in Windows Phone.
Motorola Mobility Will take a new turn in its smartphone strategy?. As the manufacturer, after a slump created by the success of Razor, had concentrated its product offering around the Android platform, Motorola talks about his interest in the environment Windows Phone. On the occasion of the Oppenheimer Communications & Technology Conference in Boston, CEO Sanjay Jha made no secret of being open to the idea of an agreement with Microsoft.
Windows Phone Versus Android
“I have to check if moving from Windows to Android will be the right thing to do for us, but if the capabilities of Windows are such that it is a good thing for us, I think we will consider [the idea]” , he said according to remarks reported by The Inquirer.net.
No question as to abandon the platform of Google overnight. Moreover recalled that the leader had to position itself as the first manufacturer to launch a market shelf in the future Android 2.4 Ice Cream Sandwich (in the meantime, Motorola has just completed the upgrade to 3.1 of its Android hoping Xoom and improve the user experience and attract them). But he does not believe that the market can support five mobile OS, especially when facing resource developers. And include Android and iOS as the two most important to them. Motorola takes care of any and anticipation and waiting to see what Windows Phone will offer to the market, particularly with the arrival of Nokia smartphones in the lap of Microsoft.
Windows Phone and Motorola Problem
Hence his opening speech. Unless this is a message sent to the spawning of Redmond to stifle the looming conflict between the two companies. In October 2010, Microsoft filed a rape complaint against Motorola for patent in its Android smartphones. Microsoft claims some intellectual property and tries to sell a license with the manufacturers of smartphones in the Google OS.
If HTC (among others) has accepted the terms of Redmond, Motorola refused. In the case could result in court (which may be encumbered with another complaint from Microsoft that also criticized Motorola for license fees too high technologies used in the Xbox). Unless an agreement is reached behind the adoption of Windows Phone ?
